Last months I spend much time watching how my chess engine plays blitz against other programs. I also have seen many blitz and lighting games between strongest engines (GambitTiger, DeepFritz etc.) Now I notice unexpected improvement in my own blitz strength both agains humans and computers (may be, up to 50 or even 75 ELO). Very funny for me, because I did not studying chess or analyzing much more than usually. What do you think - can only watching (not analyzing!) games of strong players improve somebody's strength? I have read somewhere that similar methods are used in some sport games like tennis, tabletennis or volley-ball: some kind of "muscle memory" is stimulated when sportsman sits on the bench and looks at flying ball trying to predict its trajectory.
